Yes income tax credit that is literally a tax on income (aka wages for work) doesn't come with any work requirements. 🤦‍♂️

There seems to be no end to human cruelty, greed, selfishness. How did we even get this far as a species?

Usually something that lame doesn't need a response. However in today's climate you sometimes have to counter these arguments immediately with correct info. A tax credit is not welfare. (and welfare shouldn't have a work requirement either).
